Bartram Trail Branch

This month's selection is The Astronaut Wives Club by Lily Koppel. The Astronaut Wives Club tells the real story of the women who stood beside some of the biggest heroes in American history--our original astronauts. New members are always welcome.

Everyone is invited to discuss Zeitoun, by Dave Eggers. This nonfiction book is about New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina, and Abdulrahman Zeitoun, New Orleans resident and business owner. Zeitoun decided to stay during the hurricane and in the aftermath, spent his time rescuing neighbors and abandoned pets....until he disappeared. New members are always welcome.

Drop off completed blankets, and any yarn you’d like to donate, during regular library hours.
